Data Center Operation: Server Access

Full server lifecycle access and power cycling for remote management.

Data Center Operation: Server Access is a software only application that provides full lifecycle access to the server Operating System (OS) and the Base Management Card (BMC) for controlling multiple IT devices from a single console via remote management. Power cycling enables users to remotely access servers when they are offline, and power up/down or restart servers, even when the server OS is down. Server Access enables both in-band and out-of-band access to servers. Access the BIOS (basic input/output system) or the BMC directly from the DCIM software to solve hardware problems preventing a server from booting normally.

Provides visibility to exactly where your servers are placed within the data center for an accurate inventory and overview.

One-to-many device control

View, configure and control multiple vendor’s IT devices through one console for secure and easy server management.

Software only KVM

Reduce costs by eliminating the need for hardware appliances in the data center.

Multi-vendor asset support

Provides support for multiple types of IT assets and hardware platforms.

Availability

Server diagnostics

Provides access to server audit logs for analyzing and troubleshooting when the OS is unresponsive.

Power cycling

Access servers remotely whether they are on or offline for instant control and reboot.

BIOS configuration

Access BIOS settings and configurations directly from the DCIM software to solve hardware problems preventing a server from booting normally.

Consol access

Remotely control and manage IT devices through software KVM for lights out data center management.

Secondary out-of-band management

Utilizes a secondary access path for reaching affected devices and solve any issues through the alternate business-critical network.

Access track and trace

Track and trace who and when servers have been accessed and controlled through the software KVM.

OS access

Connect to the operating system via RDP, SSH and VNC.

Primary in-band management

Access both server OS and BMC through the primary network to solve any issues.

Sizing and run time calculators are based on Watt ratings. VA (Volt-Amp) ratings are also a common method for measuring power but provide less accurate results. On APC.COM, VA values are often shown for convienience and may be entered as input data. However, VA values are always translated into Watts. This translation is done using an approximation formula which assumes that low VA loads have a power factor of around 0.6 and high power loads have a power factor of nearly 1.0, which is representative of typical, (but not all) computing equipment. For highest precision, use Watt values where available.

The translator below shows how VA can be converted to Watts using the APC.COM formula:
